Btownfamrest

Boyertown Family Restaurant's
Officially Open


On December 8, 2009 Representatives of Building A Better Boyertown (BBB), the Borough of Boyertown, Tri-County Chamber of Commerce, and the Berks County Community Foundation (BCCF) welcomed Boyertown Family Restaurant into the Boyertown Main Street District with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.

December 8, Boyertown Family Restaurant, owner, longtime area resident, Sam Schedid has reopened the doors of Boyertown Family Restaurant formally Boyertown Caf� and Schaeffer's Family Restaurant, with the wishes of bringing traditional family dining back to the Boyertown Community.
 
Schedid, who is also the proprietor of Sam's Coventry Diner, has lived in the Boyertown Area for twelve years and is a strong believer in home town values, supporting the community and patronizing local businesses.
 
"Though Boyertown Family Restaurant is now open, there are still changes to be expected " stated Schedid.  " We still have renovations to make over time, to include an eating counter at the window, and bringing back some of the time-honored Pennsylvania Dutch charm that Schaeffer's had when they were open."
 
There is a large variety of menu selections to choose from at Boyertown Family Restaurant as well as many traditional Dutch menu items with two Dutch specials offered every day.
 
Specials at Boyertown Family Restaurant include: Monday: Mom's eat � price, Tuesday: Children eat for FREE off of the Children's Menu, Wednesday: 20% off of any steak on the menu, Thursday: Seniors receive an ADDITIONAL 10% off of their already discounted Senior Menu. Monday - Friday $.99 Breakfast (2 eggs, home fries, and toast *$1.99 if you include a meat) and Homemade Deserts FRESHLY BAKED right on the premises.
 
Boyertown Family Restaurant offers Banquet and Party facilities for up to 150 people and is a BYOB establishment.
